Aber Birgit meint ja, alles Gute muss irgendwann auch wieder ein Ende haben denn sonst würde man irgendwann gar nicht mehr merken, dass es gut ist... Mit Weihnachten sei das auch so, wenn das ganze Jahr Weihnachtszeit wäre, wäre an der Weihnachtszeit gar nichts mehr so besonders und mit unserem Weihnachtsmarkt sei das auch so... Jedenfalls kam mir da so ein Gedanke - wisst Ihr eigentlich, was BiWuBärchen das ganze Jahr über machen, wenn sie nicht auf dem BiWuBären-Weihnachtsmarkt unterwegs sind? Also, mal abgesehen von Rosey und mir... und den Hexentürmern natürlich... und all den BiWuBärchen, die ein neues Zuhause gefunden haben... möchtet Ihr mal sehen, wo die übrigen BiWuBärchen das Jahr über verbringen? Genau genommen habt Ihr einen Teil davon bereits auf dem ersten Bild gesehen - aber ich zeige Euch die Immobilie noch mal im Ganzen:But Birgit always says all good things must come to an end sometime because otherwise we would not recognize the good things anymore... And it would be the same with Christmas because if it was Christmas time the whole year long the Christmas time wouldn't be that special anymore and this would also include our Christmas Market... Anyhow, this made me think - did you ever wonder how BiWuBearies spend the time when they're not enjoying themselves at the BiWuBeary Christmas Market? Well, despite Rosey and me of course... and the Witch Tower inhabitants... and all the BiWuBearies who found a new home... would you like to see how the rest of the BiWuBearies spends the year? In fact you have already seen a part of it at the first picture - but I'm going to show you this property again in total:

Beleuchten kann man das auch...It can also be illuminated...

... und so sieht es mit BiWuBärchen und etwas Deko von Birgit aus:... and this is how it looks with BiWuBearies and a bit of decoration by Birgit:

Eintreffen ist ein schönes Stichwort, um überzuleiten auf ein anderes Thema, das mir heute noch wichtig ist - unabhängig davon, ob ich genug Pluspunkte im Goldenen Buch sammeln konnte werde ich heute Abend zur Bescherung jede Menge Päckchen aufmachen können! *freu* Wir sind nämlich von lieben Blogfreunden so reich bedacht worden, dass auf dem Tisch, den Birgit normalerweise zum Werkeln ihrer Projekte nutzt, kein Platz mehr ist (wobei auf dem Bild sogar noch zwei Weihnachtsgrüße fehlen, die sozusagen noch in letzter Minute eingetroffen sind... notfalls muss Marlies, unsere Nisse-Freundin, was auf den Arm nehmen... *kicher*):Arriving is a good keyword allowing me to switch to another topic that's also important to me this day - apart from the question if I have been able to collect enough good points in the Golden Book I will in any case be able to open many packages this evening! *beams-with-joy* We have been spoiled rotten by dear blogfriends, see, at the table Birgit usually uses for working on her projects there's no more space left (and on the picture there are still two Christmas greetings missing who arrived somehow just in time last minute... well, if anything else fails Marlies, our Nisse (or gnome) friend, will need to carry a few gifts in her arms... *giggle*):

Meine kleine Schwester meint zwar gerade, ich solle mir nicht einbilden, dass ich die alle alleine aufmachen darf, aber phhhhhhhh... ich bin nun mal der amtierende Champion im Päckchenaufmachen in der Bärchenklasse bis 10 cm... und ich liebe Päckchenaufmachen... und Geschenke... aber vielleicht bin ich doch großzügig genug dass vielleicht ein, zwei Geschenke abfallen, die Rosey und Birgit aufmachen können (was mir auch wieder einen Pluspunkt bringen könnte!) Wie auch immer... auch an dieser Stelle noch einmal ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön an alle, die so lieb an uns gedacht haben! Und das schönste Geschenk, das in jedem dieser Grüße enthalten war, kann man ja weder auf Birgits Basteltisch legen noch auspacken - nämlich die Freundschaft und Freude, die Ihr mitgeschickt habt.My little sister is just saying I should not dare to think I would be the one to open all of them all on my own but phhhhhhh... I am for sure the official champion in opening packages in the beary class up to 10 cm... and I love opening packages... and gifts... but maybe I could be generous enough to leave one ore two gifts for Rosey and Birgit (what might bring me another good point!) However... once more here and now another heartwarm "Thank you!" to all of you who have thought of us so kindly! And the greatest gift of all being included in every single greeting can't even be placed on Birgit's craft table and can't be unpacked - I'm speaking of all the joy and friendship you have sent along in your packages.

Hallo Fluby, Rosey and all of you!! Personally, I’m sure that you’ve earned enough good points in the book of Santa, otherwise, as you said yourself, your dear Birgit will had a word with him…she loves you too much ;)??Your Birgit is a very wise woman, when she says that’s good that good things will come to an end, because otherwise you will get used to it. It’s so nice to see back the special, wonderfully made summer residence of all the BiWuBearies. I’ve admired this wonderful house, when I was visiting you last summer (it was so nice, good memories!!) ;)! But I think it’s also good to see that the legal inhabitants get plenty of room in the house for this special festivity of the year, isn’t it!?WOW, I see that you’ve received so many gifts from dear friends, I bet this will be fun tonight: unwrapping in a blink of an eye….. cause you’re so good at this, Fluby, hehehehe :D!! I fully agree with Birgit that the greatest gift you can receive is friendship and joy, it IS and we know it ;O!!Have cosiness, love, joy and laughter on this Silverster Eve, dear friends, you all deserve it after having such a tough year.We wish you ALL there: FROHE WEIHNACHTEN and the best wishes for 2017!!Schepje (who is still excited about everything what has to do with Christmas, I’m sure the reason is that he is also a BiWuBearie ;O) und Ilona XXX

Dear Flutterby, with Birgit taking care over you you have nothing to worry about. You have been very helpful all year round and won plenty of good points. Birgit takes loving care of all the BiWuBaren family, as well as friends. Look what a beautiful home she provided for all. It looks gorgeous with the lights on.I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!Hugs, Drora

Aaaawww, what a Wonderful place for BiWuBeareys to live the rest of the Year!!! It looks made for you! LOL! (Yes, I was the sort of child who always wanted to play with the Nativity scene.... and keep the "stable" for all year round!) It would be such a shame for that beautiful building to stand empty for so many months!!! I am glad to know that Santa will be bringing you all gifts to open tonight... we open ours tomorrow! It is a Joy beyond Words to be able to share this celebration with All of You!!! Thank you, Birgit, for the Time and Love you give to all of us in blogland! And a Special Hello and Happy holidays from the Cloud Palace Gang to all you "cousins" in Birgitland!!! :):):)

Dear Birgit, thank you for the lovely gifts The gingerbread house is my favourite! absolutely cute. I had no time this morning to rearrange my little scenes since I had to rush to relatives' home for lunch or it would have had pride of place in themI hope that your Christmas day was one of joy and peace just like our was. Big hugs and best wishes for tomorrow and new Year!Rosanna

A little late but I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I know for sure that you Fluby had lots of good points and so got many wonderful presents :) Wishing you all a fantastic New Year.Hugs Maria

Greetings Birgit! I have enjoyed reading the story of Christmas for you and your BiWuBearies and although Christmas is past and New Years is right around the corner, I want to wish you and your little ones the Most Wonderful 2017 Ever, filled with fun, adventure, magic and Love! :D
